brushybarry 0 #1 Posted March 31, 2014 Howdy all, I just picked up a 96 wheelhorse 314-8 with mowing deck for $300. The tractor is in great shape, starts easy and purrs like a kitten. I do need a spindle for the deck though and am not having any luck finding one. Where is a good place online to find parts for the wheelhorse tractors? I would also like to find a tiller for it so I guess my best bet is to just keep an eye on classifieds for one right? I will get some pics of it hopefully this evening when I get home. Thanks yall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,196 #2 Posted March 31, 2014 Try placing a "wanted" ad for the deck spindle you need in the classifieds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don1977 605 #3 Posted March 31, 2014 There are a couple on the Classified now they fit a 42" or 48" deck the only difference is the double drive pulley is different between the two decks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leeave96 490 #7 Posted April 1, 2014 Welcome to RS!!!! You have a GREAT tractor!!!! Some things to know - your tractor has a 14 hp Kohler Magnum engine = no points, condenser, etc. Your tranny is very strong as it is an 8 pinion version and it has 1-1/8 inch axles. As you get into these tractors, you will read/learn about this stuff - IMHO, you got one of the best tractors Wheelhorse ever made. Finding a spindle should be no problem - post a want add and do the same for a tiller. How some pics?!?!?!? Good luck, Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,483 #10 Posted April 1, 2014 You don't necessarily have a 1996 deck as the basic design was the same since the mid-70's. 1996 42" side discharge ipl 1996 48" side discharge ipl Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DOC in Kentucky 178 #11 Posted April 2, 2014 I have a nice deck and tiller that will work with your tractor. I bought a used 417a about 7 years ago with both attachments and have never mounted or used either one. And I am not that far from you and could possible meet in Lexington as I am always going there for one thing or another. Send me your email and I will try to get some pics to you this weekend.

brushybarry 0 #12 Posted April 2, 2014 sent you my email DOC, im looking forward to seeing pics! I dont see any type of pto or drive for a tiller on the rear of my tractor? what do i need to look for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmsgaffer 2,053 #13 Posted April 2, 2014 Doc will probably have all you need. There is a idler that mounts under the tractor and a belt will run from the PTO under the tractor to a pulley on the tiller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
